And you don't need to accept the trap of authoritarian masculinity on logic alone, the proof is right there in male influencers like Andrew Tate and their followers. These dipshits get so obsessed with gatekeeping they don't realize that the gates they're tending keep them in, that the more walls they put up to protect their privilege, the smaller their identity can be. They huddle in tiny pens, terrified of crossing imaginary bounds that they imposed *on themselves.*
They have built their own torture chambers and locked themselves inside, and for what? They turn themselves into dragons, hoarding what they see as valuable while repressing every emotion including joy. And if they let themselves experience joy, they would, perhaps, realize that all these privileges are inconsistent with it. They might, perhaps, recognize that they have built up these privileges so they don't have to admit that their suffering and fear are not, in fact, admirable. They might have to face the fact that they have lived lives that are deeply pathetic, might have to face the fact that only empathy can give one access to deep satisfaction, might have to face the fact that they have lived their whole lives on a treadmill, going nowhere.
But I assume that they won't ever do that, because to do so would force them to face the enormity of the emotional debt, the pain and suffering they have inflicted on the world, and those are big feelings. It's far easier to hide in a hole, forever alone, making up silly rules to keep everyone inside scared and keep everyone outside from seeing in.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

Went for a visit over to BlueSky and after being there for less than five minutes, got attacked by a weird, seemingly coordinated group consisting of religious "feminists" (ie, they fight for the right to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen) and Black people. What a weird coalition.
This was apparently for the crime of being on US-owned social media while progressive, European, female and under-pigmented.
Very close to dropping that account.

four floppy drives sit on a wooden table top. all four have the tops off and the drive heads are visible. the two 5.25 drives are on the right and the two 3.5 drives are on the left. the middle two drives are actually a combo drive 3.5+5.25 but I'm counting them as separate drives since I have to clean both. behind the drives are a small round container with a clear liquid (99% IPA) and some q-tips.

A narrow path along a very narrow ridge of light gray rocks, steep slopes dropping off on either side. The south-facing right side is mostly forested, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. Blue sky with some streaky clouds.

Steep slopes with yellow brown dried grasses leading down into the valley between some cliffs of light gray rocks and forest. Everything bathed in warm golden light. The valley floor is visible with dense forest, a section of the Linder river and tall mountains rising up on the other side of the valley. Hazy sky.

The silhouette of a standalone rock needle and some nearby trees along the ridge. The sun and some mountains are partially visible from behind the rock. Beautiful red/brown grasses.

Phanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.

Phanpy interface, showing a single column with clearly delineated toots. Up top there's a hamburger icon (that gets you links to everything else), a bell icon (for notifications), and on the bottom right hand side of the screen a little ink quill icon for posting. And the font text is bigger/clearer.

Mastodon's official UI home screen. There are three columns taking up the whole screen. Left column has half taken up with an input form for posting a new toot. Then there's some wasted space, and at the bottom a bunch of text links: "social.ridetrans.it: [About] [Profiles directory] [privacy policy]", etc.

The middle column has all the toots from my timeline. There is only a single thin grey line separating the toots, and the text is small and somewhat difficult to read.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "# Image Description

This appears to be a scene from a film or television production, likely from the 1980s based on the video quality and styling. Two actors are shown in an outdoor setting against a rocky backdrop. One performer wears a white shirt and appears engaged in conversation with the other, who is dressed in a brown leather vest decorated with metal studs or grommets, suggesting a period or fantasy costume.

The scene captures an intimate moment of…

*Me staring at a pair of leggings with elaborate Celtic knotwork on the thighs and calves and wanting*
My brain: “you know this is a scam, right? That would take hours and hours of work on the part of a costumer, like how you used to be? And they’re $30‽ c’mon!”
Me: “shut up brain”

Obviously, fake, probably AI generated leggings with elaborate embroidering in the form of Celtic knots on the thighs and calves
Complete rubbish scam.
BUT LOOK AT THEM!!!!

Mailbag: Is Diggs in the doghouse?
It seems hard to believe that putting Trevon Diggs on the field right now wouldn't be an immediate upgrade. He says he’s healthy, so what are we, the fans, missing? Other than Diggs has apparently landed in the coach and owner's doghouse.

The euphoria on the right after the unjustifiable kidnapping of Nicolšs Maduro has ended an era of illusion.
No more is Donald Trump’s movement interested in posturing for the credulous as restorers of peace.
No more is there outward deception or internal struggle over the meaning of Trumpist foreign policy.
There is only violent, extractive dominance politics abroad

Imperialism Is Inevitable? Well So Is Resistance to It
With Venezuela seized by the US, Trump and MAGA drops the mask on their brazen imperialism. It's as unapologetic as the neocons after Kabul and Baghdad fell. But do you remember what happened next?

The thing this reply guy doesn’t get, the thing that’s so crucial to this moment, is that being correct about the law counts for absolute diddly shit in the moment. The law is slow. The law comes later…if ever. With these people on our streets right now, the only thing that matters in the moment is what people believe: what they believe the law is, what they believe is safe, what they believe they can get away with, what they believe they are capable of doing.
The law is slow. The law catches up later. Belief is •now•.
